Does anyone know anything about this dealership or have any contacts of ex-employees?

A good bet might be friends or family of Walt, which passed away last year.
Another avenue might be the Cobra museum, Bill.

Black Boss 9 we did back in 2012 was sold there. Seems like lots of interesting cars went through that dealership. I wonder if the family had any personal ties to Shelby or Shelby employees?

Pletcher Ford in Jenkintown, PA was a big Cobra/Shelby dealer. When they went out of business around 1969/70, Courtesy Ford bought all of their Shelby new car inventory plus some other vehicles. I attached a letter from Pletcher listing the Shelby Mustangs sold to Courtesy by serial number. They also bought Pletcher's remaining 427 Cobra inventory.

I also included a photo of the Pletcher showroom in 1967
